In this short documentary, I tried to answer some of the common questions that I usually get about shipping. The footage I took myself using fairly basic cameras that I could fit in my pocket while I was on the job as a deckhand. The story follows me on a six month journey around the world on a container ship which was on a run between New York and Singapore via the Suez Canal. This was my first time going to sea on a large ship so everything was relatively new to me, therefore please excuse the couple of shipping terms I misused (such as saying "license" when I should have said "credential"). I have been on many ships since and will continue to ship out for the foreseeable future. Thanks for watching.

Marines

Marines, also known as a marine corps and naval infantry, are an infantry force that specializes in the support of naval and army operations on land and at sea, as well as the execution of their own operations. In the majority of countries, the marine force is part of the navy, but it can also be under the army like the Troupes de marine (French Marines) and Givati Brigade (Israeli Marines), or form an independent armed service branch like the United States Marine Corps and Royal Marines.

Historically, tasks undertaken by marines have included providing protection from war while at sea, reflecting the pressed nature of the ships' company and the risk of mutiny. Other tasks would include boarding of vessels during combat or capture of prize ships and providing manpower for raiding ashore in support of the naval objectives.

With the industrialization of warfare in the 20th century the scale of landing operations increased; this brought with it an increased likelihood of opposition and a need for co-ordination of various military elements. Marine forces evolved to specialize in the skills and capabilities required for amphibious warfare.

US Marines boarding V-22 transport to KILL THE TERRORISTS

Interesting video of the us marines boarding thier V-22 transport aircraft to battle those bad guy terrorists. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection from the sea,[7] using the mobility of the U.S. Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. The U.S.Marine Corps is one of the four branches in the U.S.Department of Defense as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is one of the seven uniformed services of the United States.
The MarineCorps has been a component of the U.S. Department of the Navy since 1834,[8][9] working closely with naval forces for training, transportation, and logistics.[10] The USMC operates posts on land and aboard sea-going amphibious warfare ships around the world, and several of the Marines' tactical aviation squadrons, primarily MarineFighter Attack squadrons, are also embedded in Navy carrier air wings and operate from the Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.[11]
Two battalions of Continental Marines were formed on 10 November1775 in Philadelphia as an Infantry force capable of fighting for independence both at sea and on shore.[12] The role of the Corps has since grown and evolved, expanding to aerial warfare and earning popular titles such as "America's third air force" and "second land army".[13] The Marine Corps has distinguished itself as it has served in the majority of American wars, from its inception to the modern era, and attained prominence in the 20th century when its theories and practices of amphibious warfare proved prescient and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific campaign of World War II.[14]
By the mid-20th century, the U.S. Marine Corps had become a major theorist and the dominant practitioner of amphibious warfare.[15][16][17] Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy.[18] The USMC has around 194,000 active duty members and just under 40,000 reserve Marines as of 2010.[3] It is the smallest of the U.S. Armed Forces in the U.S. Department of Defense.[19][20][21]
Mission
The USMC serves as an expeditionary force-in-readiness. As outlined in 10 U.S.C. § 5063 and as originally introduced under the National Security Act of 1947, it has three primary areas of responsibility:
The seizure or defense of advanced naval bases and other land operations to support naval campaigns;
The development of tactics, technique, and equipment used by amphibious landing forces in coordination with the Army and Air Force; and
Such other duties as the President may direct.
This last clause, while seemingly redundant given the President's position as Commander-in-chief, is a codification of the expeditionary responsibilities of the Marine Corps. It derives from similar language in the Congressional acts "For the BetterOrganization of the Marine Corps" of 1834, and "Establishing and Organizing a Marine Corps" of 1798. In 1951, the House of Representatives' Armed Services Committee called the clause "one of the most important statutory – and traditional – functions of the Marine Corps." It noted that the corps has more often than not performed actions of a non-naval nature, including its famous actions in Tripoli, the War of 1812, Chapultepec, and numerous counter-insurgency and occupational duties (such as those in Central America), World War I, and the Korean War. While these actions are not accurately described as support of naval campaigns nor as amphibious warfare, their common thread is that they are of an expeditionary nature, using the mobility of the Navy to provide timely intervention in foreign affairs on behalf of American interests.[22]
In addition to its primary duties, the Marine Corps has missions in direct support of the White House and the State Department. The Marine Band, dubbed the "President's Own" by Thomas Jefferson, provides music for state functions at the White House.[23] Marines from Ceremonial Companies A & B, quartered in Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C., guard presidential retreats, including Camp David, and the Marines of the ExecutiveFlightDetachment of HMX-1 provide helicopter transport to the President and Vice President, with the call signs "Marine One" and "Marine Two", respectively.[24] By authority of the 1946 Foreign Service Act, the Marine Security Guards of the Marine EmbassySecurityCommand provide security for American embassies, legations, and consulates at more than 140 posts worldwide.[25]
Historical mission[edit]
The Marine Corps was founded to serve as an infantry unit aboard naval vessels and was responsible for the security of the ship and its crew by conducting offensive and defensive combat during boarding actions and defending the ship's officers from mutiny;

Six Months At Sea In The Merchant Marine

In this short documentary, I tried to answer some of the common questions that I usually get about shipping. The footage I took myself using fairly basic cameras that I could fit in my pocket while I was on the job as a deckhand. The story follows me on a six month journey around the world on a container ship which was on a run between New York and Singapore via the Suez Canal. This was my first time going to sea on a large ship so everything was relatively new to me, therefore please excuse the couple of shipping terms I misused (such as saying "license" when I should have said "credential"). I have been on many ships since and will continue to ship out for the foreseeable future. Thanks for watching.

MAKING A MARINE U.S. MARINE CORPS 1950s RECRUITING FILM 82124

Dating to the Korean War era, this wonderful U.S. MarineCorps film begins with images of combat and an amphibious landing drill, probably at Camp Pendleton in California. At 1:40, the concept of "vertical envelopment" is described with helicopters deployed off of an aircraft carrier. At 1:45, a nuclear weapon goes off and Marines (at the nation's nuclear test site in Nevada as part of Upshot-Knothole ) observe the rising mushroom cloud. The cloud dissolves into the USMC logo at the Corp's recruiting depot in San Diego. The "making of Marines" is then described in Parris Island, South Carolina. Recruits are seen entering the depot and immediately being processed. At 3:30, a drill sergeant introduces them to the Corps, and the recruits walk past an Iwo Jima statue. At 4:16, the men strip an...

The Largest Aircraft in The U.S. Military

The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsize and oversize cargos, including all air-certifiable cargo. The Galaxy has many similarities to its smaller C-141 Starlifter predecessor, and the later C-17 Globemaster. The C-5 is among the largest military aircraft in the world.
The C-5 Galaxy had a complicated development; significant cost overruns were experienced and Lockheed suffered significant financial difficulties. Shortly after entering service, fractures in the wings of many aircraft were discovered and the C-5 fleet were restricted in capability until corrective work was conducted. The C-5M Super Galaxy is an ...

In this short documentary, I tried to answer some of the common questions that I usually get about shipping. The footage I took myself using fairly basic cameras that I could fit in my pocket while I was on the job as a deckhand. The story follows me on a six month journey around the world on a container ship which was on a run between New York and Singapore via the Suez Canal. This was my first time going to sea on a large ship so everything was relatively new to me, therefore please excuse the couple of shipping terms I misused (such as saying "license" when I should have said "credential"). I have been on many ships since and will continue to ship out for the foreseeable future. Thanks for watching.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps
The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection from the sea,[8] using the mobility of the U.S. Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. The U.S.Marine Corps is one of the four branches in the U.S.Department of Defense as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is one of the seven uniformed services of the United States.
The MarineCorps has been a component of the U.S. Department of the Navy since 1834, working closely with naval forces for training, transportation, and logistics. The USMC operates posts on land and aboard sea-going amphibious warfare ships around the world, and several of the Marines' tactical aviation squadrons, primarily MarineFighter Attack squadrons, are also embedded in Navy carrier air wings and operate from the Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Two battalions of Continental Marines were formed on 10 November1775 in Philadelphia as an Infantry force capable of fighting for independence both at sea and on shore. The role of the Corps has since grown and evolved, expanding to aerial warfare and earning popular titles such as "America's third air force" and "second land army". The Marine Corps has distinguished itself as it has served in the majority of American wars, from its inception to the modern era, and attained prominence in the 20th century when its theories and practices of amphibious warfare proved prescient and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific theater of World War II.
By the mid-20th century, the U.S. Marine Corps had become a major theorist and the dominant practitioner of amphibious warfare. Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy. The USMC has around 194,000 active duty members and just under 40,000 reserve Marines as of 2010. It is the smallest of the U.S. Armed Forces within the U.S. Department of Defense...Vietnam War
The Marine Corps served an important role in the Vietnam War taking part in such battles as Da Nang, Hue City, Con Thien and Khe Sanh. Individuals from the USMC operated in the NorthernI CorpsRegions of South Vietnam. While there, they were constantly engaged in a guerrilla war against the Viet Cong, along with an intermittent conventional war against the North Vietnamese Army (NVA). Portions of the Corps were responsible for the less-known Combined Action Program (CAP) that implemented unconventional techniques for counter-insurgency and worked as military advisers to the Republic of Vietnam Marine Corps. Marines were withdrawn in 1971, and returned briefly in 1975 to evacuate Saigon and attempt a rescue of the crew of the Mayagüez.
Vietnam was the longest war for Marines; by its end, 13,091 had been killed in action, 51,392 had been wounded, and 57 Medals of Honor had been awarded. Due to policies concerning rotation, more Marines were deployed for service during Vietnam than World War II.
While recovering from Vietnam, the Corps hit a detrimental low point in its service history caused by courts-martial and non-judicial punishments related partially to increased unauthorized absences and desertions during the war. Overhauling of the Corps began in the late 1970s, discharging the most delinquent, and once quality of new recruits improved, the Corps focused on reforming the NCO Corps, a vital functioning part of its forces...

Since 1915, the United States Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina (or simply Parris Island) has trained enlisted personnel. This 1960sMarine Corps “unclassified” film introduces the viewer to Parris Island, and opens at mark 00:32 with a shot of the United States Marine Corps enlisted contract, as the narrator spells out the basic requirements of a Marine.
Nervous recruits stand at attention as a Marine captain delivers the oath of enlistment. A smiling master sergeant directs the recruits onto a Greyhound bus and arrives at Parris Island at mark 02:25 begin boot camp. The narrator recounts the history of the island as the cameraman shoots footage that includes young recruits marching in formation. “Before they leave recruit training, they will be molded into United States Marines,” the audience is assured at mark 03:45.
With that, training begins. A drill instructor barks orders as the recruits are hustled off the bus. Their first Marine Corp haircut follows starting at mark 04:22, to ensure uniformity and equality within the platoon. A shower scene follows at mark 05:24, not only for cleanliness but also a symbolic cleansing “to wash away old habits and ideas.” Eye exams, dental exams, and distribution of uniforms follow before the recruit platoon is turned over to their drill instructor. Over the shouting, the narrator explains, “To train them, he must control them.”
Reveille for the recruits is captured starting at mark 06:54 (4:55 a.m. for the recruits) as the men leap from their beds, shave, make their bunks, and head to the mess hall for breakfast before moving on to the classroom.
“Many hours will also be spent learning the basic movements of close order drill. It is through this drill that the drill instructors will begin to build the discipline and teamwork that they want in the platoon,” it is explained at mark 08:00. “The private finds out there is only one way to do something — the right way.”
Physical training also makes up a large percentage of the nine-week basic training session, as the film watches the recruits put through their paces on obstacle courses, guard duty, inspections, and instruction on moral virtues. “We keep them so busy there is little chance for them to become homesick,” it is said at mark 10:55.
Mark 11:36 takes the viewer to the “SpecialTrainingBranch” of the USMC, designed to assist those recruits who could not keep up. Emphasis on physical condition, strength condition, obesity reduction, classroom instruction, and motivation are included.
Following three weeks of training on the rifle range for marksmanship, shown starting at mark 13:40 (and a week of mess hall duty captured starting at mark 15:45), recruits have time to participate in battalion and regimental field games, including track events, which also builds teamwork.
With two weeks to go at boot camp, the recruits are taught close combat drills, including bayonet training and aggressive fighting techniques, plus water survival, as shown at mark 18:26, and of course, more obstacle courses.
One of the final stages of basic training, we are told near mark 21:30, is an eight-mile hike to Elliott’s Beach, where recruits learn how to survive in the field and participate in a six-stage practical application test, covering what they had learned. The film captures blindfolded recruits assembling and disassembling an M-14 rifle, and later are shown treating simulated wounds, at displaying proper bayonet-attack moves.
At eight weeks, recruits at Parris Island take the Marine Corps physical fitness test, which includes a three-mile run. “But when the physical training is complete the finished product is a strong, well-motivated, physically conditioned Marine,” we are told at mark 24:10.
By the end of the training film, those awkward, raw recruits are shown at mark 24:40, a well-trained platoon moving as one, and ready to prove their worth at the Battalion Commander’s DrillCompetition. Following inspection by the regimental and battalion commander, the recruits have their final review and graduate. They are now Marines.

At 1:40, the concept of "vertical envelopment" is described with helicopters deployed off of an aircraft carrier. At 1:45, a nuclear weapon goes off and Marines (at the nation's nuclear test site in Nevada as part of Upshot-Knothole ) observe the rising mushroom cloud. The cloud dissolves into the USMC logo at the Corp's recruiting depot in San Diego. The "making of Marines" is then described in Parris Island, South Carolina. Recruits are seen entering the depot and immediately being processed. At 3:30, a drill sergeant introduces them to the Corps, and the recruits walk past an Iwo Jima statue. At 4:16, the men strip and prepare for showers, and have their hair cut off at 4:30 (a la Full Metal Jacket). At 5:00 showers and then the men get new clothes. At 6:50, the men go to sleep, only to be awakened for physical exercise including the obstacle course and calisthenics. Close order drill is shown at 8:30. At 10:30, weapons are inspected by the Drill Sergeant. At 10:47, water training is shown and at 11:25, marksmanship and rifle practice with the M-1 Garand. Classroom instruction is shown at 13 minutes. At 14:30, Marines lift buckets as part of physical drills -- proving that you can use almost any heavy item for muscular benefit. At 15:00, hand to hand and bayonet drills are shown. At 17:44, final inspection is shown of the men who "made it" and are now able to proudly call themselves Marines. At 18:16 the final review march is shown at Parris Island. Semper Fi!

Created in 1945, this rare color documentary THE 6TH MARINE DIVISION ON OKINAWA film shows the massive battle for the island of Okinawa, focusing on the activities of the American6th Marine Division. The 6th was formed in September 1944. During the invasion of Okinawa it saw combat at Yae-Take and Sugar Loaf Hill and was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation. The 6th Division had also prepared for the invasion of Japan before the war ended. After the war it served in Tsingtao, China where the division was disbanded on April 1, 1946, being the only Marine division to be formed and disbanded overseas and never set foot in the United States.
The Division's initial objectives in the amphibious landing on Okinawa was the capture of Yontan Airfield while protecting the left (North) Flank.Despite a Japanese battalion in their zone the Division met only light resistance and by the 3rd day was approaching Iskhikawa, twelve days ahead of schedule. By 14 April, the division had swept all through the northern IshikawaIsthmus – 55 miles from the original landings. The division's rapid advance continued until eventually they encountered prepared and dug-in defenders at Yae-Take, where the majority of the UdoForce was entrenched. The Udo Force, or KunigamiDetachment, under Colonel Takehiko Udo was built around the 2d Infantry Unit of the 44th IndependentMixed Brigade – reinforced by having absorbed both former sea-raiding suicide squadrons and remnants of the Battalion earlier destroyed by the 6th – was responsible for defense of the Motobu Peninsula and Ie Shima. The 6th Division's drive captured most of northern Okinawa and the Division won praise for its fast campaign – Brigadier GeneralOliver P. Smith wrote: "The campaign in the north should dispel the belief held by some that Marines are beach-bound and are not capable of rapid movement."
After heavy fighting in the south, the division was ordered to replace the Army27th Infantry Division on the western flank. The 6th division advanced south to partake in the assault against the strong Japanese defense line, called the ShuriLine, that had been constructed across the southern coastline. The Shuri Line was located in hills that were honeycombed with caves and passages, and the Marines had to traverse the hills to cross the line. The division was ordered to capture the Sugar Loaf Hill Complex, 3 hills which formed the western anchor of the Shuri Line defense. The Marines that had assaulted the line were attacked by heavy Japanese mortar and artillery fire, which made it more difficult to secure the line. After a week of fighting, the hill had been taken.

After Sugarloaf the Division advanced through Naha, conducted a shore-to-shore amphibious assault on, and subsequent 10-day battle to capture, the Oroku peninsula (defended by Admira Ōta's forces), and partook in mop-up operations in the south. The battle on Okinawa ended on 21 June 1945. The Sixth division was credited with over 23,839 enemy soldiers killed or captured, and with helping to capture 2⁄3 of the island, but at the cost of heavy casualties, including 576 casualties on one day (May 16) alone,[ – a day described as the "bitterest" fighting of the Okinawa campaign where "the regiments had attacked with all the effort at their command and had been unsuccessful".
For its actions at Okinawa, the 6th Marine Division earned a Presidential Unit Citation.

Created in 1945, this rare color documentary THE 6TH MARINE DIVISION ON OKINAWA film shows the massive battle for the island of Okinawa, focusing on the activities of the American6th Marine Division. The 6th was formed in September 1944. During the invasion of Okinawa it saw combat at Yae-Take and Sugar Loaf Hill and was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation. The 6th Division had also prepared for the invasion of Japan before the war ended. After the war it served in Tsingtao, China where the division was disbanded on April 1, 1946, being the only Marine division to be formed and disbanded overseas and never set foot in the United States.
The Division's initial objectives in the amphibious landing on Okinawa was the capture of Yontan Airfield while protecting the left (North) Flank.Despite a Japanese battalion in their zone the Division met only light resistance and by the 3rd day was approaching Iskhikawa, twelve days ahead of schedule. By 14 April, the division had swept all through the northern IshikawaIsthmus – 55 miles from the original landings. The division's rapid advance continued until eventually they encountered prepared and dug-in defenders at Yae-Take, where the majority of the UdoForce was entrenched. The Udo Force, or KunigamiDetachment, under Colonel Takehiko Udo was built around the 2d Infantry Unit of the 44th IndependentMixed Brigade – reinforced by having absorbed both former sea-raiding suicide squadrons and remnants of the Battalion earlier destroyed by the 6th – was responsible for defense of the Motobu Peninsula and Ie Shima. The 6th Division's drive captured most of northern Okinawa and the Division won praise for its fast campaign – Brigadier GeneralOliver P. Smith wrote: "The campaign in the north should dispel the belief held by some that Marines are beach-bound and are not capable of rapid movement."
After heavy fighting in the south, the division was ordered to replace the Army27th Infantry Division on the western flank. The 6th division advanced south to partake in the assault against the strong Japanese defense line, called the ShuriLine, that had been constructed across the southern coastline. The Shuri Line was located in hills that were honeycombed with caves and passages, and the Marines had to traverse the hills to cross the line. The division was ordered to capture the Sugar Loaf Hill Complex, 3 hills which formed the western anchor of the Shuri Line defense. The Marines that had assaulted the line were attacked by heavy Japanese mortar and artillery fire, which made it more difficult to secure the line. After a week of fighting, the hill had been taken.

After Sugarloaf the Division advanced through Naha, conducted a shore-to-shore amphibious assault on, and subsequent 10-day battle to capture, the Oroku peninsula (defended by Admira Ōta's forces), and partook in mop-up operations in the south. The battle on Okinawa ended on 21 June 1945. The Sixth division was credited with over 23,839 enemy soldiers killed or captured, and with helping to capture 2⁄3 of the island, but at the cost of heavy casualties, including 576 casualties on one day (May 16) alone,[ – a day described as the "bitterest" fighting of the Okinawa campaign where "the regiments had attacked with all the effort at their command and had been unsuccessful".
For its actions at Okinawa, the 6th Marine Division earned a Presidential Unit Citation.

The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsize and oversize cargos, including all air-certifiable cargo. The Galaxy has many similarities to its smaller C-141 Starlifter predecessor, and the later C-17 Globemaster. The C-5 is among the largest military aircraft in the world.
The C-5 Galaxy had a complicated development; significant cost overruns were experienced and Lockheed suffered significant financial difficulties. Shortly after entering service, fractures in the wings of many aircraft were discovered and the C-5 fleet were restricted in capability until corrective work was conducted. The C-5M Super Galaxy is an upgraded version with new engines and modernized avionics designed to extend its service life beyond 2040.
The C-5 Galaxy has been operated by USAF since 1969. In that time, it has been used to support US military operations in all major conflicts including Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan; as well as in support of allies, such as Israel during the Yom Kippur War and NATO operations in the Gulf War. The C-5 has also been used to distribute humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and support the US Space Shuttle program run by NASA.

The Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw, (also known by its Sikorsky model number, S-55) was a multi-purpose helicopter used by the United States Army and United States Air Force. It was also license-built by Westland Aircraft as the Westland Whirlwind in the United Kingdom. United States Navy and United States Coast Guard models were designated HO4S, while those of the U.S. MarineCorps were designated HRS. In 1962, the U.S. Navy, U.S.Coast Guard and U.S. Marine Corps versions were all redesignated as H-19s like their U.S. Army and U.S. AirForce counterparts...
The H-19's first flight was on November 10, 1949 and it entered operations in 1950. Over 1,000 of the helicopters were manufactured by Sikorsky for the United States. An additional 550 were manufactured by licensees of the helicopter including Westland Aircraft, the Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques du sud-est (SNCASE) in France and Mitsubishi in Japan.
The helicopter was widely exported, used by many other nations, including Portugal, Greece, Israel, Chile, South Africa, Denmark and Turkey.
In 1954 the Marines tested an idea to assist the rotors lift better in hot or high climates and if the helicopter was overloaded, by installing a rocket nozzle at the tip of each rotor blade with the fuel tank located in the center above the rotor blade hub. Enough fuel was provided for seven minutes of operation.
Operational history
The H-19 Chickasaw holds the distinction of being the US Army's first true transport helicopter and, as such, played an important role in the initial formulation of Army doctrine regarding air mobility and the battlefield employment of troop-carrying helicopters. The H-19 underwent live service tests in the hands of the 6th TransportationCompany, during the Korean War beginning in 1951 as an unarmed transport helicopter. Undergoing tests such as medical evacuation, tactical control and front-line cargo support, the helicopter succeeded admirably in surpassing the capabilities of the H-5 Dragonfly which had been used throughout the war by the Army.The U.S.Air Force ordered 50 H-19A's for rescue duties in 1951. These aircraft were the primary rescue and medical evacuation helicopters for the USAF during the Korean War. The Air Force continued to use the H-19 through the 1960s, ultimately acquiring 270 of the H-19B model.
France made aggressive use of helicopters in Algeria, both as troop transports and gunships, Piasecki/Vertol H-21 and Sud-built Sikorski H-34 helicopters rapidly displaced fixed-wing aircraft for the transport of paras and quick-reaction commando teams. In Indochina, a small number of Hiller H-23s and Sikorsky H-19s were available for casualty evacuation. In 1956, the French Air Force experimented with arming the H-19, then being superseded in service by the more capable Piasecki H-21 and Sikorsky H-34 helicopters. The H-19 was originally fitted with a 20-mm cannon, two rocket launchers, plus a 20-mm cannon, two 12.7-mm machine guns, and a 7.5-mm light machine gun firing from the cabin windows, but this load proved far too heavy, and even lightly armed H-19 gunships fitted with flexible machine guns for self-defense proved underpowered.
The H-19 was also used in the early days of the Vietnam War before being supplanted by the Sikorsky H-34 Choctaw, which was based on the H-19...

This U.S. MarineCorps film chronicles Operation Dewey Canyon, which was the last major offensive by the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. It took place from January 22 through March 18, 1969 and involved a sweep of the North Vietnamese Army (NVA)-dominated A Shau Valley by the 9th Marine Regiment reinforced by elements of the 3rd Marine Regiment. The 56 days of combat were a tactical success but did not stop the overall flow of North Vietnamese men and matériel into South Vietnam. The 9th Marine Regiment and attached units were awarded the ArmyPresidential Unit Citation for their actions in Operation Dewey Canyon.
DeweyCanyon would be a three-phase operation. In Phase I, the regiment would move into the area of operations and establish fire support bases for the supporting artillery of the 2nd Battalion, 12th Marines (2/12). Phase II would consist of patrolling near the fire support bases and aligning the infantry units for a jump-off into the next phase. Phase III called for a conventional three-battalion advance southward, with the infantry units moving overland rather than by helicopter because heavy anti-aircraft defenses in the area of the Phase III objectives made movement by foot preferable to GeneralDavis' usual concept of high-mobility heliborne operations. But because the area was in the remote southwest corner of Quang Tri Province, helicopters would still be critical in the early phases and in resupplying the troops on the ground.
In the long history of the Vietnam War, Dewey Canyon stands as one of the most successful American operations. Casualties, however, were heavy for both sides. Officially, 1,617 NVA were reported killed and five captured, while 130 Marines were killed and 920 wounded. The Marines had effectively disrupted a major enemy logistical center in BaseArea 611, including in their total haul more than 1,000 NVA small arms, some 807,000 rounds of ammunition and about 220,000 pounds of rice. Marine fixed-wing aircraft flew 461 close air support missions, and Marine helicopters flew nearly 1,200 sorties. U.S. Army helicopters also flew numerous sorties in support of the Marines. The artillery fired about 134,000 rounds during the operation. This expenditure of effort proved worth the cost, as NVA plans for a big 1969 spring offensive in the I Corps Tactical Zone were derailed and, in fact, the Communists could launch no such offensive in the northern provinces that entire year. A major enemy attempt to strike at the population centers east of Base Area 611 had been forestalled by Dewey Canyon.

Six Months At Sea In The Merchant Marine

In this short documentary, I tried to answer some of the common questions that I usually get about shipping. The footage I took myself using fairly basic cameras that I could fit in my pocket while I was on the job as a deckhand. The story follows me on a six month journey around the world on a container ship which was on a run between New York and Singapore via the Suez Canal. This was my first time going to sea on a large ship so everything was relatively new to me, therefore please excuse the couple of shipping terms I misused (such as saying "license" when I should have said "credential"). I have been on many ships since and will continue to ship out for the foreseeable future. Thanks for watching.

US Marines boarding V-22 transport to KILL THE TERRORISTS

Interesting video of the us marines boarding thier V-22 transport aircraft to battle those bad guy terrorists. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection from the sea,[7] using the mobility of the U.S. Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. The U.S.Marine Corps is one of the four branches in the U.S.Department of Defense as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is one of the seven uniformed services of the United States.
The MarineCorps has been a component of the U.S. Department of the Navy since 1834,[8][9] working closely with naval forces for training, transportation, and logistics.[10] The USMC operates posts on land and aboard sea-going amphibious warfare ships around the world, and several of the Marines' tactical aviation squadrons, primarily MarineFighter Attack squadrons, are also embedded in Navy carrier air wings and operate from the Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.[11]
Two battalions of Continental Marines were formed on 10 November1775 in Philadelphia as an Infantry force capable of fighting for independence both at sea and on shore.[12] The role of the Corps has since grown and evolved, expanding to aerial warfare and earning popular titles such as "America's third air force" and "second land army".[13] The Marine Corps has distinguished itself as it has served in the majority of American wars, from its inception to the modern era, and attained prominence in the 20th century when its theories and practices of amphibious warfare proved prescient and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific campaign of World War II.[14]
By the mid-20th century, the U.S. Marine Corps had become a major theorist and the dominant practitioner of amphibious warfare.[15][16][17] Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy.[18] The USMC has around 194,000 active duty members and just under 40,000 reserve Marines as of 2010.[3] It is the smallest of the U.S. Armed Forces in the U.S. Department of Defense.[19][20][21]
Mission
The USMC serves as an expeditionary force-in-readiness. As outlined in 10 U.S.C. § 5063 and as originally introduced under the National Security Act of 1947, it has three primary areas of responsibility:
The seizure or defense of advanced naval bases and other land operations to support naval campaigns;
The development of tactics, technique, and equipment used by amphibious landing forces in coordination with the Army and Air Force; and
Such other duties as the President may direct.
This last clause, while seemingly redundant given the President's position as Commander-in-chief, is a codification of the expeditionary responsibilities of the Marine Corps. It derives from similar language in the Congressional acts "For the BetterOrganization of the Marine Corps" of 1834, and "Establishing and Organizing a Marine Corps" of 1798. In 1951, the House of Representatives' Armed Services Committee called the clause "one of the most important statutory – and traditional – functions of the Marine Corps." It noted that the corps has more often than not performed actions of a non-naval nature, including its famous actions in Tripoli, the War of 1812, Chapultepec, and numerous counter-insurgency and occupational duties (such as those in Central America), World War I, and the Korean War. While these actions are not accurately described as support of naval campaigns nor as amphibious warfare, their common thread is that they are of an expeditionary nature, using the mobility of the Navy to provide timely intervention in foreign affairs on behalf of American interests.[22]
In addition to its primary duties, the Marine Corps has missions in direct support of the White House and the State Department. The Marine Band, dubbed the "President's Own" by Thomas Jefferson, provides music for state functions at the White House.[23] Marines from Ceremonial Companies A & B, quartered in Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C., guard presidential retreats, including Camp David, and the Marines of the ExecutiveFlightDetachment of HMX-1 provide helicopter transport to the President and Vice President, with the call signs "Marine One" and "Marine Two", respectively.[24] By authority of the 1946 Foreign Service Act, the Marine Security Guards of the Marine EmbassySecurityCommand provide security for American embassies, legations, and consulates at more than 140 posts worldwide.[25]
Historical mission[edit]
The Marine Corps was founded to serve as an infantry unit aboard naval vessels and was responsible for the security of the ship and its crew by conducting offensive and defensive combat during boarding actions and defending the ship's officers from mutiny;

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection from the sea,[8] using the mobility of the U.S. Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. The U.S.Marine Corps is one of the four branches in the U.S.Department of Defense as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is one of the seven uniformed services of the United States.
The MarineCorps has been a component of the U.S. Department of the Navy since 1834, working closely with naval forces for training, transportation, and logistics. The USMC operates posts on land and aboard sea-going amphibious warfare ships around the world, and several of the Marines' tactical aviation squadrons, primarily MarineFighter Attack squadrons, are also embedded in Navy carrier air wings and operate from the Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Two battalions of Continental Marines were formed on 10 November1775 in Philadelphia as an Infantry force capable of fighting for independence both at sea and on shore. The role of the Corps has since grown and evolved, expanding to aerial warfare and earning popular titles such as "America's third air force" and "second land army". The Marine Corps has distinguished itself as it has served in the majority of American wars, from its inception to the modern era, and attained prominence in the 20th century when its theories and practices of amphibious warfare proved prescient and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific theater of World War II.
By the mid-20th century, the U.S. Marine Corps had become a major theorist and the dominant practitioner of amphibious warfare. Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy. The USMC has around 194,000 active duty members and just under 40,000 reserve Marines as of 2010. It is the smallest of the U.S. Armed Forces within the U.S. Department of Defense...Vietnam War
The Marine Corps served an important role in the Vietnam War taking part in such battles as Da Nang, Hue City, Con Thien and Khe Sanh. Individuals from the USMC operated in the NorthernI CorpsRegions of South Vietnam. While there, they were constantly engaged in a guerrilla war against the Viet Cong, along with an intermittent conventional war against the North Vietnamese Army (NVA). Portions of the Corps were responsible for the less-known Combined Action Program (CAP) that implemented unconventional techniques for counter-insurgency and worked as military advisers to the Republic of Vietnam Marine Corps. Marines were withdrawn in 1971, and returned briefly in 1975 to evacuate Saigon and attempt a rescue of the crew of the Mayagüez.
Vietnam was the longest war for Marines; by its end, 13,091 had been killed in action, 51,392 had been wounded, and 57 Medals of Honor had been awarded. Due to policies concerning rotation, more Marines were deployed for service during Vietnam than World War II.
While recovering from Vietnam, the Corps hit a detrimental low point in its service history caused by courts-martial and non-judicial punishments related partially to increased unauthorized absences and desertions during the war. Overhauling of the Corps began in the late 1970s, discharging the most delinquent, and once quality of new recruits improved, the Corps focused on reforming the NCO Corps, a vital functioning part of its forces...

U.S. MARINE CORPS THIS IS PARRIS ISLAND 1960s BOOT CAMP FILM 78344

Since 1915, the United States Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina (or simply Parris Island) has trained enlisted personnel. This 1960sMarine Corps “unclassified” film introduces the viewer to Parris Island, and opens at mark 00:32 with a shot of the United States Marine Corps enlisted contract, as the narrator spells out the basic requirements of a Marine.
Nervous recruits stand at attention as a Marine captain delivers the oath of enlistment. A smiling master sergeant directs the recruits onto a Greyhound bus and arrives at Parris Island at mark 02:25 begin boot camp. The narrator recounts the history of the island as the cameraman shoots footage that includes young recruits marching in formation. “Before they leave recruit training, they will be molded into United States Marines,” the audience is assured at mark 03:45.
With that, training begins. A drill instructor barks orders as the recruits are hustled off the bus. Their first Marine Corp haircut follows starting at mark 04:22, to ensure uniformity and equality within the platoon. A shower scene follows at mark 05:24, not only for cleanliness but also a symbolic cleansing “to wash away old habits and ideas.” Eye exams, dental exams, and distribution of uniforms follow before the recruit platoon is turned over to their drill instructor. Over the shouting, the narrator explains, “To train them, he must control them.”
Reveille for the recruits is captured starting at mark 06:54 (4:55 a.m. for the recruits) as the men leap from their beds, shave, make their bunks, and head to the mess hall for breakfast before moving on to the classroom.
“Many hours will also be spent learning the basic movements of close order drill. It is through this drill that the drill instructors will begin to build the discipline and teamwork that they want in the platoon,” it is explained at mark 08:00. “The private finds out there is only one way to do something — the right way.”
Physical training also makes up a large percentage of the nine-week basic training session, as the film watches the recruits put through their paces on obstacle courses, guard duty, inspections, and instruction on moral virtues. “We keep them so busy there is little chance for them to become homesick,” it is said at mark 10:55.
Mark 11:36 takes the viewer to the “SpecialTrainingBranch” of the USMC, designed to assist those recruits who could not keep up. Emphasis on physical condition, strength condition, obesity reduction, classroom instruction, and motivation are included.
Following three weeks of training on the rifle range for marksmanship, shown starting at mark 13:40 (and a week of mess hall duty captured starting at mark 15:45), recruits have time to participate in battalion and regimental field games, including track events, which also builds teamwork.
With two weeks to go at boot camp, the recruits are taught close combat drills, including bayonet training and aggressive fighting techniques, plus water survival, as shown at mark 18:26, and of course, more obstacle courses.
One of the final stages of basic training, we are told near mark 21:30, is an eight-mile hike to Elliott’s Beach, where recruits learn how to survive in the field and participate in a six-stage practical application test, covering what they had learned. The film captures blindfolded recruits assembling and disassembling an M-14 rifle, and later are shown treating simulated wounds, at displaying proper bayonet-attack moves.
At eight weeks, recruits at Parris Island take the Marine Corps physical fitness test, which includes a three-mile run. “But when the physical training is complete the finished product is a strong, well-motivated, physically conditioned Marine,” we are told at mark 24:10.
By the end of the training film, those awkward, raw recruits are shown at mark 24:40, a well-trained platoon moving as one, and ready to prove their worth at the Battalion Commander’s DrillCompetition. Following inspection by the regimental and battalion commander, the recruits have their final review and graduate. They are now Marines.

MAKING A MARINE U.S. MARINE CORPS 1950s RECRUITING FILM 82124

Dating to the Korean War era, this wonderful U.S. MarineCorps film begins with images of combat and an amphibious landing drill, probably at Camp Pendleton in California. At 1:40, the concept of "vertical envelopment" is described with helicopters deployed off of an aircraft carrier. At 1:45, a nuclear weapon goes off and Marines (at the nation's nuclear test site in Nevada as part of Upshot-Knothole ) observe the rising mushroom cloud. The cloud dissolves into the USMC logo at the Corp's recruiting depot in San Diego. The "making of Marines" is then described in Parris Island, South Carolina. Recruits are seen entering the depot and immediately being processed. At 3:30, a drill sergeant introduces them to the Corps, and the recruits walk past an Iwo Jima statue. At 4:16, the men strip and prepare for showers, and have their hair cut off at 4:30 (a la Full Metal Jacket). At 5:00 showers and then the men get new clothes. At 6:50, the men go to sleep, only to be awakened for physical exercise including the obstacle course and calisthenics. Close order drill is shown at 8:30. At 10:30, weapons are inspected by the Drill Sergeant. At 10:47, water training is shown and at 11:25, marksmanship and rifle practice with the M-1 Garand. Classroom instruction is shown at 13 minutes. At 14:30, Marines lift buckets as part of physical drills -- proving that you can use almost any heavy item for muscular benefit. At 15:00, hand to hand and bayonet drills are shown. At 17:44, final inspection is shown of the men who "made it" and are now able to proudly call themselves Marines. At 18:16 the final review march is shown at Parris Island. Semper Fi!

THE 6th MARINE DIVISION ON OKINAWA 1945 PACIFIC CAMPAIGN WORLD WAR II 20912

Created in 1945, this rare color documentary THE 6TH MARINE DIVISION ON OKINAWA film shows the massive battle for the island of Okinawa, focusing on the activities of the American6th Marine Division. The 6th was formed in September 1944. During the invasion of Okinawa it saw combat at Yae-Take and Sugar Loaf Hill and was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation. The 6th Division had also prepared for the invasion of Japan before the war ended. After the war it served in Tsingtao, China where the division was disbanded on April 1, 1946, being the only Marine division to be formed and disbanded overseas and never set foot in the United States.
The Division's initial objectives in the amphibious landing on Okinawa was the capture of Yontan Airfield while protecting the left (North) Flank.Despite a Japanese battalion in their zone the Division met only light resistance and by the 3rd day was approaching Iskhikawa, twelve days ahead of schedule. By 14 April, the division had swept all through the northern IshikawaIsthmus – 55 miles from the original landings. The division's rapid advance continued until eventually they encountered prepared and dug-in defenders at Yae-Take, where the majority of the UdoForce was entrenched. The Udo Force, or KunigamiDetachment, under Colonel Takehiko Udo was built around the 2d Infantry Unit of the 44th IndependentMixed Brigade – reinforced by having absorbed both former sea-raiding suicide squadrons and remnants of the Battalion earlier destroyed by the 6th – was responsible for defense of the Motobu Peninsula and Ie Shima. The 6th Division's drive captured most of northern Okinawa and the Division won praise for its fast campaign – Brigadier GeneralOliver P. Smith wrote: "The campaign in the north should dispel the belief held by some that Marines are beach-bound and are not capable of rapid movement."
After heavy fighting in the south, the division was ordered to replace the Army27th Infantry Division on the western flank. The 6th division advanced south to partake in the assault against the strong Japanese defense line, called the ShuriLine, that had been constructed across the southern coastline. The Shuri Line was located in hills that were honeycombed with caves and passages, and the Marines had to traverse the hills to cross the line. The division was ordered to capture the Sugar Loaf Hill Complex, 3 hills which formed the western anchor of the Shuri Line defense. The Marines that had assaulted the line were attacked by heavy Japanese mortar and artillery fire, which made it more difficult to secure the line. After a week of fighting, the hill had been taken.
A 6th Division Marine demolition crew watches explosive charges detonate and destroy a Japanese cave, May 1945
After Sugarloaf the Division advanced through Naha, conducted a shore-to-shore amphibious assault on, and subsequent 10-day battle to capture, the Oroku peninsula (defended by Admira Ōta's forces), and partook in mop-up operations in the south. The battle on Okinawa ended on 21 June 1945. The Sixth division was credited with over 23,839 enemy soldiers killed or captured, and with helping to capture 2⁄3 of the island, but at the cost of heavy casualties, including 576 casualties on one day (May 16) alone,[ – a day described as the "bitterest" fighting of the Okinawa campaign where "the regiments had attacked with all the effort at their command and had been unsuccessful".
For its actions at Okinawa, the 6th Marine Division earned a Presidential Unit Citation.

The Largest Aircraft in The U.S. Military

The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsize and oversize cargos, including all air-certifiable cargo. The Galaxy has many similarities to its smaller C-141 Starlifter predecessor, and the later C-17 Globemaster. The C-5 is among the largest military aircraft in the world.
The C-5 Galaxy had a complicated development; significant cost overruns were experienced and Lockheed suffered significant financial difficulties. Shortly after entering service, fractures in the wings of many aircraft were discovered and the C-5 fleet were restricted in capability until corrective work was conducted. The C-5M Super Galaxy is an upgraded version with new engines and modernized avionics designed to extend its service life beyond 2040.
The C-5 Galaxy has been operated by USAF since 1969. In that time, it has been used to support US military operations in all major conflicts including Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan; as well as in support of allies, such as Israel during the Yom Kippur War and NATO operations in the Gulf War. The C-5 has also been used to distribute humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and support the US Space Shuttle program run by NASA.

The Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw, (also known by its Sikorsky model number, S-55) was a multi-purpose helicopter used by the United States Army and United States Air Force. It was also license-built by Westland Aircraft as the Westland Whirlwind in the United Kingdom. United States Navy and United States Coast Guard models were designated HO4S, while those of the U.S. MarineCorps were designated HRS. In 1962, the U.S. Navy, U.S.Coast Guard and U.S. Marine Corps versions were all redesignated as H-19s like their U.S. Army and U.S. AirForce counterparts...
The H-19's first flight was on November 10, 1949 and it entered operations in 1950. Over 1,000 of the helicopters were manufactured by Sikorsky for the United States. An additional 550 were manufactured by licensees of the helicopter including Westland Aircraft, the Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques du sud-est (SNCASE) in France and Mitsubishi in Japan.
The helicopter was widely exported, used by many other nations, including Portugal, Greece, Israel, Chile, South Africa, Denmark and Turkey.
In 1954 the Marines tested an idea to assist the rotors lift better in hot or high climates and if the helicopter was overloaded, by installing a rocket nozzle at the tip of each rotor blade with the fuel tank located in the center above the rotor blade hub. Enough fuel was provided for seven minutes of operation.
Operational history
The H-19 Chickasaw holds the distinction of being the US Army's first true transport helicopter and, as such, played an important role in the initial formulation of Army doctrine regarding air mobility and the battlefield employment of troop-carrying helicopters. The H-19 underwent live service tests in the hands of the 6th TransportationCompany, during the Korean War beginning in 1951 as an unarmed transport helicopter. Undergoing tests such as medical evacuation, tactical control and front-line cargo support, the helicopter succeeded admirably in surpassing the capabilities of the H-5 Dragonfly which had been used throughout the war by the Army.The U.S.Air Force ordered 50 H-19A's for rescue duties in 1951. These aircraft were the primary rescue and medical evacuation helicopters for the USAF during the Korean War. The Air Force continued to use the H-19 through the 1960s, ultimately acquiring 270 of the H-19B model.
France made aggressive use of helicopters in Algeria, both as troop transports and gunships, Piasecki/Vertol H-21 and Sud-built Sikorski H-34 helicopters rapidly displaced fixed-wing aircraft for the transport of paras and quick-reaction commando teams. In Indochina, a small number of Hiller H-23s and Sikorsky H-19s were available for casualty evacuation. In 1956, the French Air Force experimented with arming the H-19, then being superseded in service by the more capable Piasecki H-21 and Sikorsky H-34 helicopters. The H-19 was originally fitted with a 20-mm cannon, two rocket launchers, plus a 20-mm cannon, two 12.7-mm machine guns, and a 7.5-mm light machine gun firing from the cabin windows, but this load proved far too heavy, and even lightly armed H-19 gunships fitted with flexible machine guns for self-defense proved underpowered.
The H-19 was also used in the early days of the Vietnam War before being supplanted by the Sikorsky H-34 Choctaw, which was based on the H-19...

OPERATION DEWEY CANYON 1969 VIETNAM WAR OFFENSIVE 25252

This U.S. MarineCorps film chronicles Operation Dewey Canyon, which was the last major offensive by the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. It took place from January 22 through March 18, 1969 and involved a sweep of the North Vietnamese Army (NVA)-dominated A Shau Valley by the 9th Marine Regiment reinforced by elements of the 3rd Marine Regiment. The 56 days of combat were a tactical success but did not stop the overall flow of North Vietnamese men and matériel into South Vietnam. The 9th Marine Regiment and attached units were awarded the ArmyPresidential Unit Citation for their actions in Operation Dewey Canyon.
DeweyCanyon would be a three-phase operation. In Phase I, the regiment would move into the area of operations and establish fire support bases for the supporting artillery of the 2nd Battalion, 12th Marines (2/12). Phase II would consist of patrolling near the fire support bases and aligning the infantry units for a jump-off into the next phase. Phase III called for a conventional three-battalion advance southward, with the infantry units moving overland rather than by helicopter because heavy anti-aircraft defenses in the area of the Phase III objectives made movement by foot preferable to GeneralDavis' usual concept of high-mobility heliborne operations. But because the area was in the remote southwest corner of Quang Tri Province, helicopters would still be critical in the early phases and in resupplying the troops on the ground.
In the long history of the Vietnam War, Dewey Canyon stands as one of the most successful American operations. Casualties, however, were heavy for both sides. Officially, 1,617 NVA were reported killed and five captured, while 130 Marines were killed and 920 wounded. The Marines had effectively disrupted a major enemy logistical center in BaseArea 611, including in their total haul more than 1,000 NVA small arms, some 807,000 rounds of ammunition and about 220,000 pounds of rice. Marine fixed-wing aircraft flew 461 close air support missions, and Marine helicopters flew nearly 1,200 sorties. U.S. Army helicopters also flew numerous sorties in support of the Marines. The artillery fired about 134,000 rounds during the operation. This expenditure of effort proved worth the cost, as NVA plans for a big 1969 spring offensive in the I Corps Tactical Zone were derailed and, in fact, the Communists could launch no such offensive in the northern provinces that entire year. A major enemy attempt to strike at the population centers east of Base Area 611 had been forestalled by Dewey Canyon.
